Post from the The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop forum
Im loving the story. But I have to be honest, I'm struggling with the writing style. I think this is a translation from the original Japanese (please correct me if I'm wrong). And I'm wondering if some of the artistry is lost in translation. I might DNF but I really want to stick with it.

An incredible book. A richly build world given to you in bite sized pieces, familiar to our own in many respects, different enough to make you ask "why can't we make this exist here?".
Offers a gentle and deep exploration of what it means to be alive, to be conscious.
Exactly what I needed as a little break between some epic intense reads, and helped me process some questions about life that I have been trying to resolve for quite a while now.

i’m enjoying finding the small details that are included or different than the TV show. the main one so far being that in the book, they’re running on treadmills, not biking on echo bikes
